Just goes to show...

The FCC operates on behalf of big business, not the people who they are suppose to be working for.

The weakened rules are definitely going to be a boon for whatever company grabs the spectrum up for auction, but one thing is clear, the consumers of America lost again. The likely outcome now is that some well established player, probably Verizon or ATT, will grab the spectrum and we'll be left with the same players as before and no innovative new services. After all, neither of them have said anything about actually doing anything with it.

You want that cool, ubiquitous, high-speed wireless data access like they have in Star Trek and all those Sci-Fi movies? Not bloody likely in America now. One can only hope tomorrow looks better.
